Sounds good to me...



I'll be planning a Forces-of-Nature trip to N. Wales later this year (hopefully), so we could all meet up then. Things are a little hectic here at the mo though as we're living in a caravan without any running water etc whilst trying to organise the building of a house, so I'll be sailing closer to home for a while.... At least the best launch site is only about 100 yds from our front door!!



Keep your fingers crossed for wind and waves.

I really need to get out this weekend, it's been ages... (bloody easterlies). Is there anywhere near rhossy which would be good. That beach round the corner seems okay but a bit rocky. i might just try my luck with the kitesurfers.

Looking at windguru Sundays wind looks as though it might not arive until Monday.

Anyone know what Newborough Warren is like to sail?

Just copied this from the Beachguide on my site:



Quote:Newborough Warren is a huge sand dune complex and 1,585 acre nature reserve surrounded by beaches. There are two main beaches here, Llanddwyn Bay and Malltraath Bay, divided by Llanddwyn Island. Llandwyn Bay is a spectacular sweep of sand and has amazing views out across the mountains of the Lleyn Peninsula. Access is signposted from the A4080 in Newborough and is through a forestry commission toll road operated by a toll barrier. There is huge parking and picnic area in the trees behind the beach. Llanddwyn Bay can get some surf and offers good windsurfing conditions. The beach is generally safe but the currents can be strong near Abermenai Point so keep away.The beach itself curves around from SW facing in the middle to SSw at Abermenai point and also wraps around to face SE near Llanddwyn Island so surf and wind direction relative to the shore can change quite a bit along the beach so it could be worth a walk to get the optimum conditions. The beach is also ideal for kite buggying and kite-surfing. Few facilities are available on the beach itself, but most things are available in Newborough. Malltraeth Bay on the other side of Llanddwyn Island is a Westerly facing beach often frequented by naturists (on warm days!!). It is quite a trek from the Newborough Warren Car park, so not really suited for windsurfing, but surfers and kiters should find quiet unspoilt conditions. The surf can be OK but is rarely great. The miles of hard packed sand make the beach ideal for kite-buggying and its remoteness mean that it is never busy. It has no facilities.





There are a few other places around that area that could be good this weekend as well.

Well, I think you are a big bunch of bastards! I have been in wales for most of the week, no wind whatsoever (tho it was pleasant) until the day we had to leave, and now I have to work all week end It looks like it is going to be good, Ah well I know where I'll be on Mon/Tue if it is still blowing....(Clue..NOT college!)
